WASHINGTON/DUBAI/JERUSALEM, June 18 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump kept the world guessing on Wednesday whether the U.S. will join Israel's bombardment of Iranian nuclear and missile sites, as residents of Iran's capital streamed out of the city on the sixth day of the air assault.
Speaking to reporters outside the White House, Trump declined to say if he had made any decision on whether to join Israel's campaign. "I may do it. I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do," he said.

Trump keeps world guessing about US military action on Iran

Sometime our Potus is absolutely correct.

WASHINGTON/DUBAI/JERUSALEM, June 18 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump kept the world guessing on Wednesday whether the U.S. will join Israel's bombardment of Iranian nuclear and missile sites, as residents of Iran's capital streamed out of the city on the sixth day of the air assault.

Speaking to reporters outside the White House, Trump declined to say if he had made any decision on whether to join Israel's campaign. "I may do it. I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do," he said.

In its latest bombings, Israel said its air force destroyed Iran's police headquarters.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a video released by his office on Wednesday, said Israel was "progressing step by step" towards eliminating threats posed by Iran's nuclear sites and ballistic missile arsenal.

"We control the skies over Tehran. We are striking with tremendous force at the regime of the ayatollahs. We are hitting the nuclear sites, the missiles, the headquarters, the symbols of the regime," Netanyahu said. The prime minister's office published a photo showing Netanyahu convening his cabinet and said it was meeting on Wednesday evening.

He also thanked Trump, "a great friend of the state of Israel", for standing by its side in the conflict, saying the two were in continuous contact.

Trump has veered from proposing a swift diplomatic end to the war to suggesting the United States might join it. In social media posts on Tuesday, he mused about killing Khamenei, then demanded Iran's "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!"

A source familiar with internal discussions said Trump and his team were considering options that included joining Israel in strikes against Iranian nuclear installations.

Iran's mission to the United Nations mocked Trump in posts on X, describing him as "a has-been warmonger clinging to relevance."

Israel's military said scores of Israeli jets had struck targets in and around Tehran and in western Iran in the previous 24 hours in three waves, hitting sites producing raw materials, components and manufacturing systems for missiles.

"We are focusing on Tehran. Among the targets we attacked was the site of a centrifuge manufacturing site crucial to the Iranian regime's attempt to enrich uranium," Israeli military spokesperson Brigadier General Effie Defrin said.

FLEEING TEHRAN

Arezou, a 31-year-old Tehran resident, told Reuters by phone that she had made it out of the city to the nearby resort town of Lavasan.

"We will stay here as long as this war continues. My friend’s house in Tehran was attacked and her brother was injured. They are civilians," she said. "Why are we paying the price for the regime’s decision to pursue a nuclear programme?”

In Israel, sirens rang out anew at dusk on Wednesday warning of further incoming Iranian missiles. There were no immediate reports of serious damage, while a motorist was injured by missile debris, Israeli medics said.

The army later advised civilians they could leave protected areas, signalling the threat had passed.

At Ramat Gan train station east of Tel Aviv, people were lying on city-supplied mattresses or sitting in the odd camping chair, with plastic water bottles strewn about.

"I feel scared, overwhelmed. Especially because I live in a densely populated area that Iran seems to be targeting, and our city has very old buildings, without shelters and safe spaces," said Tamar Weiss, clutching her four-month-old daughter.

Iran has reported at least 224 deaths in Israeli attacks, mostly civilians, but has not updated that toll for days.

In Israel, the Iranian missile salvoes mark the first time in decades of shadow war and proxy conflict that a significant number of projectiles fired from Iran have penetrated defences, killing Israelis in their homes.

Since Friday, Iran has fired around 400 missiles at Israel, some 40 of which have pierced air defences, killing 24 people, all of them civilians, according to Israeli authorities.

Two U.S. officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said a U.S. military flight out of Israel on Wednesday was used to evacuate some embassy personnel.

LEVERAGE

Iran has been exploring options for leverage, including veiled threats to hit the global oil market by restricting access to the Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz, the world's most important shipping artery for oil.

Inside Iran, authorities are intent on preventing panic and shortages. Fewer images of destruction have been allowed to circulate than in the early days of the bombing, when state media showed pictures of explosions, fires and flattened apartments. A ban on filming by the public has been imposed.

The communications ministry said on Wednesday that temporary restrictions on internet access would be imposed to help prevent "the enemy from threatening citizens' lives and property".

Iran's ability to hit back hard at Israel through strikes by proxy militia close to Israeli borders has been limited by the devastating blows Israel has dealt to Tehran's regional allies - Hamas and Hezbollah - in conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon since 2023.

 

The President needs to send the Supreme Leader a letter similar to his Mark Cuban letter and then tweet it to the world.

BEIJING - China's embassy in Israel will assist Chinese citizens who want to evacuate to leave in batches beginning on Friday, the embassy said in a notice on Thursday.

The evacuation operation will bring Chinese nationals to the Taba Border Crossing into Egypt via bus, about 360 km (224 miles) from Tel Aviv

"The Israel-Iran conflict continues to intensify, with increasing casualties, the possibility of further deterioration cannot be ruled out," the embassy warned.

Putin puttin' in his CV for King of Peace and Charity, but keeps "friends" secret's worse than me.

Putin says he does not want to discuss the possible Israeli-U.S. killing of Iran's supreme leader

Spoiler

ST PETERSBURG - President Vladimir Putin on Thursday refused to discuss the possibility that Israel and the United States would kill Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and said the Iranian people were consolidating around the leadership in Tehran.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has openly speculated that Israel's military attacks could result in regime change in Iran while U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the U.S. knew where Khamenei was "hiding" but that Washington was not going to kill him "for now".

Asked what his reaction would be if Israel did kill Khamenei with the assistance of the United States, Putin said: "I do not even want to discuss this possibility. I do not want to."

When pressed, Putin said he had heard the remarks about possibly killing Khamenei but that he did not want to discuss it.

"We see that today in Iran, with all the complexity of the internal political processes taking place there...that there is a consolidation of society around the country's political leadership," Putin told senior news agency editors in the northern Russian city of St Petersburg.

Putin was speaking as Trump kept the world guessing whether the U.S. would join Israel's bombardment of Iranian nuclear and missile sites and as residents of Iran's capital streamed out of the city on the sixth day of the air assault.

 Questioned about possible regime change in Iran, Putin said that before getting into something, one should always look at whether or not the main aim is being achieved before starting something.

He said Iran's underground uranium enrichment facilities were still intact.

"These underground factories, they exist, nothing has happened to them," Putin said.

"It seems to me that it would be right for everyone to look for ways to end hostilities and find ways for all parties to this conflict to come to an agreement with each other," Putin said. "In my opinion, in general, such a solution can be found."

Asked if Russia was ready to provide Iran with modern weapons to defend itself against Israeli strikes, Putin said a strategic partnership treaty signed with Tehran in January did not envisage military cooperation and that Iran had not made any formal request for assistance.

A spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry also warned that Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities risked triggering a nuclear catastrophe.

Putin said that Israel had given Moscow assurances that Russian specialists helping to build two more reactors at the Bushehr nuclear power plant in Iran would not be hurt in air strikes.

Russia has offered to take enriched uranium from Iran and to supply nuclear fuel to the country's civil energy programme.

"It is possible to ensure Iran's interests in the field of peaceful nuclear energy. And at the same time, to address Israel's concerns about its security," Putin said. "We have outlined them (our ideas) to our partners from the USA, Israel and Iran."

For the record, Israel's war crimes began well before Hamas ever even existed, with the illegal settlements in the West Bank that they continue to expand. In fact, there was a recent announcement of 22 new ones, the most significant expansion in decades.

Now, we also mustn't leave out Netanyahu's personal culpability in committing war crimes. If you recall, there's an active warrant out on his head for a few.

And, since we all care so deeply about law and order around here and certainly wouldn't be applying a double standard due to our own biases, we obviously shouldn’t overlook the fact that he’s currently in a prolonged corruption trial, which he somehow keeps managing to drag out. Oh, lookie here, he’s actually supposed to be under cross-examination at the moment. Funny, the timing that suddenly he decided to start bombing Iran.

You know, now that I think about it, it's possible this guy isn't really on the up-and-up. I wonder why we place so much trust in him.

In a post on X, the foreign minister said Iran's armed forces "eliminated" an Israeli military target and also caused damage to the nearby hospital.

He goes on to say Iran calls on Israelis to "heed our evacuation orders before strikes and to avoid proximity to military and intelligence sites."

Good catch up summation with some human interests aspects. A few details on hospital and nuclear sites. And of course sabre rattling.

Israel-Iran: Netanyahu vows revenge after Iranian missile damages hospital

Spoiler

TEL AVIV/DUBAI, June 19 (Reuters) - Israel bombed nuclear targets in Iran on Thursday and Iranian missiles hit an Israeli hospital overnight, as the week-old air war escalated with no sign yet of an off-ramp.

Following the strike that damaged the Soroka medical centre in Israel's southern city of Beersheba, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tehran's "tyrants" would pay the "full price".

Defence Minister Israel Katz said the military had been instructed to intensify strikes on strategic-related targets in Tehran in order to eliminate the threat to Israel and destabilise the "Ayatollah regime".

Netanyahu has said that Israel's military attacks could result in the toppling of Iran's leaders, and Israel would do whatever was necessary to remove the "existential threat" posed by Tehran.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, speaking to reporters outside the damaged hospital, said "regime change" in Tehran was not a goal the security cabinet had set "for the time being".

U.S. President Donald Trump, meanwhile, has kept the world guessing about whether Israel's superpower ally would join it in airstrikes.

Israel said on Thursday it had struck Iran's Natanz and Isfahan nuclear sites. It initially said it had also hit Bushehr, site of Iran's only functioning nuclear power plant, but a spokesperson later said it was a mistake to have said this.

The potential consequences of an attack on the plant - contaminating the air and water - have long been a concern in the Gulf states.

The head of Russia's nuclear energy corporation warned on Thursday that an Israeli attack on Bushehr could lead to a "Chornobyl-style catastrophe", referring to the world's worst nuclear disaster in 1986, when a reactor exploded at Chornobyl in Ukraine, then part of the Soviet Union.

Trump has veered from proposing a swift diplomatic end to the war to suggesting the United States might join it. On Wednesday, he said nobody knew what he would do. A day earlier he mused on social media about killing Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, then demanded Iran's unconditional surrender.

A week of Israeli air and missile strikes against its major rival has wiped out the top echelon of Iran's military command, damaged its nuclear capabilities and killed hundreds of people, while Iranian retaliatory strikes have killed at least two dozen civilians in Israel.

STRAIT OF HORMUZ

Iran has been weighing its options in responding to its biggest security challenge since the 1979 revolution.

Closing down the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of daily global oil consumption passes, is one of the moves Iran could take, a member of the Iranian Parliament National Security Committee Presidium Behnam Saeedi told the semi-official Mehr news agency.

Iran has in the past threatened to close the strait to traffic in retaliation for Western pressure, and shipping sources said on Wednesday that commercial ships were avoiding Iran's waters nearby.

Oil prices rose after Israel and Iran continued to exchange missile attacks overnight and Trump's stance on the conflict kept investors on edge.

Smoke rises following an Israeli attack in Tehran, Iran

Earlier, the Israeli military said it targeted the Khondab nuclear site near Iran's central city Arak overnight, including a partially-built heavy-water research reactor. Heavy-water reactors produce plutonium, which, like enriched uranium, can be used to make the core of an atom bomb.

The U.N. nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, said it had information that the heavy-water research reactor had been hit, but did not contain radioactive material. It had no information that a separate plant there which makes heavy water had been hit.

Israel, which has the most advanced military in the Middle East, has been fighting on several fronts since the October 7, 2023 attack on southern Israel by the Palestinian militant group Hamas triggered the Gaza war. It has severely weakened Iran's regional allies, Hamas in Gaza and Lebanon's Hezbollah, and bombed Yemen's Houthis.

The extent of the damage inside Iran from the week-old bombing campaign has become far more difficult to assess in recent days, with the authorities apparently seeking to prevent panic by limiting information.

Iran has stopped giving updates on the death toll, and state media have ceased showing widespread images of destruction. The internet has been almost completely shut down. The public has been banned from filming, with the authorities citing a risk of espionage.

Arash, 33, a government employee in Tehran, said a building next to his home in Tehran’s Shahrak-e Gharb neighbourhood had been destroyed in the strikes.

"I saw at least three dead children and two women in that building. Is this how Netanyahu plans to ‘liberate’ Iranians? Stay away from our country," he told Reuters by telephone.

Israel has issued evacuation orders for whole sections of Tehran, a city of 10 million. Thousands of residents have fled, jamming the highways out.

Samira, 11, had moved in with her grandparents in the northwestern city of Urmia, her family having fled Tehran when a shopping centre near their house was struck. She said she hasn’t been able to sleep at night.

"I’m afraid Israel will hit our home and my mom will die. I’m too scared. I just want to go home,” she said by phone.

Inside Israel, Iran's retaliatory missile strikes over the past week have been the first time in decades of shadow war that a significant number of Iranian projectiles have pierced defences and killed Israelis in their homes.

The director general of the Israeli hospital that was damaged in Beersheba, Shlomi Kodesh, told reporters at the site that a missile strike had destroyed several wards and wounded 40 people, mostly staff and patients.

Speaking to reporters at the hospital site, Netanyahu said he had issued instructions that "no one is immune" from Israeli attacks.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they were targeting Israeli military and intelligence headquarters located near the hospital. An Israeli military official denied there were military targets nearby and said the attack on a hospital was deliberate.

Missiles also hit a residential building in Ramat Gan, east of Tel Aviv.

"It's very scary," said Yaniv, 34, who lives nearby. He said he heard a deafening explosion when the missile hit, shaking his apartment tower.

I think it has more to do with his knowledge of the audience. Tons of people in the west still think that any criticisms of actions of the State of Israel are antisemetic while a ton of other people have some really strange religious views on why Israel must be "supported" at all costs. It has let him get away with almost everything. It's starting to wear thin but it still remains true that in the US no political candidate can win a national election if they are too critical of Israel and even modest criticisms were an issue in the last election.

I can't stand either of them, but I watched the Tucker Carlson/Ted Cruz interview and it is absolutely astonishing what Tucker is able to goad Cruz into admitting with regard to not only Israel, but Iran as well. He would be such an incredible journalist if he wasn't such a piece of shit.

The questions are basic but the adversarial tone should be the standard as well. Journalists aren't your fucking friend they're supposed to get the truth out of you. For whatever reason, US journalists have become too afraid to be adversarial most of the time.

Probably because conservative politicians are cowards that behave like DT posters when challenged on anything.
